The New Orleans Massacre

A correspondent of the N. Y. Independent, writing from New Orleans and speaking of the late dreadful massacre of Union men by unrepentant, but pardoned, rebels of that city, says:—

This has all emanated from the policy inaugurated by Andy Johnson. Where it will end God only knows. There is no security for life or liberty here—for white men, much less negroes. I tell you—and mark my words for it—that it will not be five years from this day—if everything goes on here in the same progressive ratio as in the past twelve months—when slavery will be established in this State, in one shape or another.

All the blood which has been shed should be justly laid upon Andrew Johnson and his accursed policy.
